Support for shadows, text grouping and new line

[CJX3M]

I'm working on a little app where the user will be able to save and load saving the json string on a NoSQL DB.

Its works all right, but I'm having issues saving several text properties, like it would be shadow. This is a string of my of my test

The shadow property its null, and it must be filled with the shadow left, top, right and color values. Where do I need to adjust the code for this to be saved and loaded onto the object? I can't find where to adjust the code.

Also, I'm getting an issue. When I try to group the curved elements, the position and rotation of some of the selected texts is altered.

As you can notice in the json, there's 2 curved text elements in a group. In order to achieve my desired position of the curved texts, I had to move them and rotate them around so when I select them to group them, I end up with the desired outcome.

As a final note, it would be nice to be able to write the text on several lines and that this line breaks appear correctly. I had't been able to figure out how to add this, but i'm pretty sure that when I get to find a line break, I need to increase the text group top position by the height of the letters, or something alike

+1 to shadows and strokes correctly rendering, as well as new line.

I took a look at it for a few minutes, but I could not figure out what was missing/what needed to be done. I might have some time to look at this again, if I do I will post the solution, but if original maintainer has any insight into what's going on/how to fix these bugs, that would be great.

Any update on Multi Lines ??????
